I was wondering if anyone had any experience with the real time data functions on some of the OBD Code readers. I purchased a Scangauge11 only to find that it is not compatible with our cars. I would like to know if the PID's for MAP (manifold air pressure) and IAT (inlet air temp) would be read by these, Actron, Equus etc. The scangauge manual stated that the map would read supercharger discharge pressure and Iat would be the temp after the intercooler. They state that not all these PID's are outputted on all vehicles, so just wondering if anyone has verified if our car does and on what scanner did you use.
Thanks

I called Nitrod:

and asked. Their unit does alot of stuff (including MAF and IAT) and they say it is compatible with, at least the '05 xFire.

If you get one, please post a review here on the Forum?

Thanks, Max

 

Here's a thread addressing these:

Search autoenginuity.com . This is the one I plan to buy. It covers all C A N functions thru 08. If you purchase the software for Chrysler as shown you can view all modules & diag. codes in their entirety. Not cheap, but I see what you ran into with the off the shelf one you have experience with? They are working with future software to actually command any module to reprogram as required by the Chrysler dealer manuals after any service work is performed.

I should ask:

Are you interested in a self-contained unit for your dashboard or a unit that interfaces through a PC or PDA?

 

I had the NITROD for my srt4 and it worked great.When i sold that car and bought the srt6 it would not work.I got ahold of NITROD and talked to them about it.I took a pic of the pin layout on the port of the srt and sent it up to them so they could see what the difference was.To make a long story short they said they could mod mine to work with the crossfire if i sent it back to them which i did.When i got the guage back the car was already in storage for the winter but i went and plugged it in and it looks like everything will work fine now after they modified it.All functions seemed to work as much as i could tell without actually driving the car.Their customer service is top notch and the guage is very nice.I used the hell out of it on my srt4 and i am looking forward to doing the same on the srt6

 

Thanks for the reply. I'm thinking of asking for this as a b'day present.

 

Thanks for all the information. I guess I should have stated that I was looking for a self contained unit. I have never used one of these code readers before so all help is very much appreciated.
Thanks again.
